Walk or take a pony ride to Elephant's Head Point, a popular vantage point offering incredible views of the surrounding landscape. A relatively short and easy walk through dense tree cover leads you to the rock formation and viewpoint, which takes its name from its resemblance to the head and trunk of an elephant. Enjoy this peaceful spot while taking in panoramic vistas of the Sahyadri mountain range. Keep an eye out for cheeky monkeys, who might try to pinch your belongings. Be prepared for changeable weather, especially during the monsoon season.

Best point to watch valleys and mountains. Also we can see pratapgarh from a distance. You have walk for 1 km approx to reach this place from parking and between you can also see lodwick point. But trust me if you're 4/5 + people you reach fast while talking you dont bore to get there. Carry caps its too hot there ! 🥵🥵🥵

The name comes because it looks like elephant's head, during the rainy season clearly we can see the elephant shape..on other days not that much clearly, it is full of valleys, we can see pratapghad from here... Best place to visit... But have to be careful with kids. There are so many view points and also rush will be there.
